Highlander self-contradictions.
I love "Highlander" (oh Duncan, and Ritchie...*sigh* ;) ), but this Wiki is HI-larious! :P
I also learned a new term: "Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short,[1] is the alteration of previously established facts in the continuity of a fictional work.[2]" :P
"This film offers an alternative origin for the Immortals, who are depicted as aliens exiled to Earth from Zeist. In direct contradiction to the original film, Ramírez and MacLeod were friends before their exile from Zeist. In the original, they first met in Scotland in 1541, with no mention of Zeist whatsoever. This was a primary reason the movie immediately met with harsh criticism.[1]"
"The third movie contradicts both the second film and the television series, acting as a stand-alone sequel to the original movie."
"As the two MacLeods will not break the single-combat tradition, Connor convinces Duncan to decapitate him, thus gaining the power that he needs to defeat Kell. This directly contradicts Highlander 2: The Quickening, in which Connor McLeod, is seen in the future, as an old man. However, Highlander 2 also features a method whereby one Immortal can resurrect another so it does not necessarily create a paradox."
"Highlander: The Source is the fifth installment of the Highlander film series, which premiered on the Sci Fi Channel on September 15, 2007.[10] The film follows Duncan MacLeod and a group of fellow Immortals seeking the source of immortality.[11] The film retcons the meaning of the Game and the phrase, "There can be only one."
Critical reaction to Highlander: The Source was universally negative. The Sci-Fi Movie Page gave it only one and a half stars out of a possible five.[12]"
"In 2008, Reunion, a reunion special was filmed starring Peter Wingfield, Elizabeth Gracen, and Jim Byrnes reprising their roles. The 17 minute special was a low budget project 10 years after the series (or between the fourth and fifth movies). Filming took place at producer Peter Davis's beach home with the actors volunteering in their roles. The plot involved the characters discussing Methos' plans to get married and settle down with a mortal woman and her son."
